Tavar oracle of the Raven Queen |
"I believe we need to destroy the alter otherwise it will continue to summon these abominations."
Save = 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
Throw lance of faith at the caller, attack vs reflex, 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (5) + 17 = 22, damage = 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17 radiant, Lynore gets +2 to her next attack
Rev DM |
Tavar - need another save from you to prevent you being marked by the Caller. LoF is range 5, so I took the liberty of moving you closer the altar.
Ill and will be patchy the next couple of days. Delightful combo of summer flu thing and exhaustion. This is the last time I try to run two jobs at once.
Tavar has a brainwave and starts to irradiate the altar with the power of his goddess. Similarly inspired, Thom realises that it is possible to destroy the altar simply by destroying the thing, or alternatively, by re-consecrating it to another deity.
Destruction is what you'd expect, but only powers that deal radiant damage will be effective.
Reconsecration requires 4 successful Religon checks (DC23). Such checks are a standard action.
Caller Steal Essence (Fort)
Only useable on marked creatures. On hit target takes 5 ongoing psychic (se).

Rev DM |
The prone Caller fails utterly to capitalise on its mark on Lynore, but brings Barel under its spell as well. Tavar's bright blades continue to do their impassive work, slicing deep into the fallen choir. Overwhelmed by the horrendous noise, Lynore feels herself weakening.
Or maybe not. Lynore needs to make two saves. One v the mark and CA, one v the ongoing 5 psychic.
Rolled a 1 against Lynore.
Barel is marked and grants CA to Caller 2 (se both)
Caller 3 solidifies and marks Thom before flying towards the wizard, singing a demented hymn in praise of a long-forgotten deity.

Caller 2 - marked by Barel; immobilised to end Barel's next turn; prone; -2 to attacks to end Arishat's next turn; one shroud
Caller 3
Barel Dlode |
Barel sees the third Caller appear and wants to end this one fairly quickly. He swings his hammer at the creature one more time. If the creature falls, Barel will move towards the next caller, otherwise, he stays where he is and marks this one again.
STANDARD: Shake the earth--(6)+21=27 VS FORT
on hit: (4,8)+14= 26 thunder damage.
if he goes down:
MOVE: F13
if not:
FREE: Mark C2

Not even Barel's strength can overcome the surprising fortitude of the Caller.

"Come on. Let's finish this thing and start daling with the altar." Arishat swings her spear across what she thinks is the Caller's eye line. "Barel, now!"
Commander's Strike, Barel vs Caller 2, 1d20 + 20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 20 + 2 = 31 vs AC, 1d10 + 13 + 5 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 13 + 5 + 5 = 26 damage

Arishat's guidance is su[erb and this time Barel makes no mistake. The second hideous choir collapses into indeterminate, screaming tendrils.

Lanthair won't be much help destroying the altar, so he will help keep the Caller busy.
Move to H13. Crane's Wings 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (5) + 17 = 22 vs Fort. 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12 damage and I slide him one square to the west (to open up a route for Tavar to reach the altar. (No effects on a miss.)
Thom Verikal |
Rev, how close do you have to be to the altar to reconsecrate it?
Also, I forgot to use an interrupt here.
Repelling Shield: A sudden shield of arcane energy blocks an attack and pushes the enemy away.
Immediate Interrupt, Personal
Trigger: You are hit by a melee attack
Effect: You gain a +4 power bonus to AC and Reflex until the end of your next turn. If any creature makes a melee attack against you while this effect lasts, you can push it 1 square after the attack resolves.
Rev DM |
Lanthair's flurried movement does nothing to distract the incoming Caller.
Thom - you need to be adjacent to the altar to deconsecrate it. Apologies. Had it in my head to say that earlier and forgot.

Thom Verikal |
Thom gulps and decides to summon a bodyguard to help protect him. Once summoned, he hurries around the Caller, trying to reach the altar.
Minor action:
Summon Iron Cohort:
Minor Action, Close Burst 2, in square H15
Effect: You summon a Small iron cohort in an unoccupied square within the burst. The iron cohort has a speed of 6 and has a +2 bonus to AC. You can give the iron cohort the following special command.
Immediate Interrupt: When you are targeted by a ranged or melee attack and the iron cohort is adjacent to you, the iron cohort becomes the attack's target instead.
Double move to L8.
Save 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14
Rev DM |
The sound of ironmongery momentarily overwhelms the horrid singing as Thom conjures a metallic ally. The cohort salutes smartly and keeps its gaze focused imperturbably on the Caller.
The comforting iron presence helps Thom get his wits together and brush aside the invasive singing.
Thom - need another save from you. One is against the mark and CA granting, the other is against the ongoing psychic.

sorry for this out of turn post, but I am going to be out of town on vacation for the next week. I will try to post ocassionally, but if Barel is unresponsive, please NPC him. His plan at this point is to help Lanthair hold this third (and potentially a fourth) caller's attention while letting Thom and Arishat work their consecretory magic!
Tavar oracle of the Raven Queen |
If I can do both I'll desecrate the alter and throw a lance of faith at it as well. If I can only do one I'll just desecrate the alter.
Relgion = 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18

Deconsecration is a standard action, but you can use an AP of course.
Tavar's knowledge briefly deserts him as he flinches from the unholiness maintaining the altar.

Lynore's desperate attempt to hide herself from the Caller fails and she stands stunned as she fails to throw off the effects of the earlier attack.
C3 sings triumphantly as it shifts, marks Lanthair and tries to steal the halfling's life force.
Advantage of Fear on Lanthair - he's marked and grants CA to the Caller (se both).

Arishat moves so she's working her way around to the far side of the creature, hoping to divide it's attention. Her spear reminds it she's around.
Move to K12
Viper's Strike, 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (15) + 20 = 35 vs AC, 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19 damage, if the target shifts before the start of Arishat's next turn it provokes an opportunity attack from Barel.
Rev DM |
Arishat makes her presence felt as she jabs firmly at the Caller, offering an opening to Barel if the thing is reckless enough to shift away from its space.

Lanthair moves in to attack the caller.
Move to K15 using Enduring Champion movement technique, avoiding OAs.
Enduring Champion on caller. Save v ongoing 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14. Attack 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (16) + 19 = 35 vs Fort, 2d10 + 21 ⇒ (9, 10) + 21 = 40 damage on a hit.
Since that attack and save were successful, save vs Marked and CA: 1d20 ⇒ 10

Lanthair circles, watches for his moment and explodes into destructive action. The companions group themselves grimly around the Caller, seeking to stop its dreadful song for good.

Guessing that Barel isn't back from his hols yet.
Barel smites and smites again, but fails to make any impact on the Caller. Sorry, Barel. The online dice roller does not love me. Or anyone judged on recent performance.

I need another save from you Arishat. The first was against the marking and CA granting, the second will be against the ongoing psychic.
Tail twisting with outrage, Arishat shifts slightly. The change in stance does nothing to help her overcome her revulsion as the singing dead bellow in her face. To add to their crimes, they are off-key.
